So Many Sunken Boats! What’s The Story? Ep 115

[@rodkennedy9800]

Excellent production values… worthy of recognition in my opinion.

[@gillgregory6327]

This has to be one of your best. The photography, the done footage and your commentary were TV worthy! It’s a fascinating area with a melancholy feeling to it. I’m hoping that next year will include a stay down there.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Wow, thank you! That’s so good to hear. You know how I feel about listening to my voiceovers! It’s such a special place down there and we will definitely be going back again. We had to rush it too much to make sure we got off the Severn before it went into flood 🫤

[@HartmutsfarbigeWelt]

Truly one of the best videos. I thought so too. Wonderful. Besides the fantastic pictures, I also love your music selection. Thank you for your commitment. We'll do that sometime. Greetings from Germany

[@billycaldwell3804]

Cracking vlog guy's. So many sea walls around the country have seen the last resting place of many old barges but they are still doing an important job. Some great photography and super aerial work from Pete. Stay safe 🙏.

[@naiad473]

Bravo! An exceptional video. Photography, music and such interesting info. You are better than the mainstream! Thank you for all the time and effort you take to bring alive our canals and your life on them. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Wow what wonderful feedback! I’ve been so excited about putting this one out. The drone footage always adds so much more I think, and of course I spent far more time than necessary like I always do finding the perfect music to show it off. Thank you so much and merry Christmas 😊🎄

[@heidimacarthur7205]

That was indeed an interesting place to explore. I enjoyed the drone footage of the area. The history of the place was fascinating. Thanks Caroline and Pete. Season’s Greetings. See you soon.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Glad you enjoyed it Heidi! We were so glad the wind had dropped enough to safely fly the drone. I think it’s some of the best footage Pete has got so far. 😊

[@neildaly6787]

Wow! That was terrific. I love the black & white shots of the worn timbers in the ships graveyard and Pete's fantastic drone footage. It's a strangely moving and melancholic story; but well told and illustrated. I, too, have to echo Gill's comments. That was excellent. Thank you both. I hope you have a happy and safe Christmas.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thank you so much Neil, high praise indeed! we were so excited to get this one out there and it's been so lovely having such great feedback form everyone. Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2025 🎄

Same to you Julia! Thanks for watching. Here’s to many more adventures in 2025 😊

[@DavidClark-f6y]

That was glorious. Living near the hulks we always take our visitors to see them and give them a history lesson whether they want one or not! Pete that drone footage was brilliant and gave us a new perspective on where we live. The whole package from Gloucester Docks to Sharpness is of TV docu standard. Thank you both so much for sharing your skills and time.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

You’re very welcome David! So lovely to hear you’ve enjoyed the videos of your local area. We enjoyed our time in the area so much, especially the magnificent and fascinating Purton hulks, and are happy we could show you a whole new view of them. Here’s to many more adventures in 2025 😊

[@tteric67]

Very special place. You feel the emotive charge through the screen. Plus the drama in such an atmospheric place. 💜

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Couldn't agree more Eric! Such a fascinating place 😊

[@GrahamSwan-yi5gw]

Incredible drone footage and a really informative vlog on the Parton Hulks and Severn Railway Bridge - video was worth waiting for Caroline but I can understand why Pete wanted it out earlier! Merry Christmas !

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks so much Swanny, glad it was worth the wait! Wishing you both a very merry Christmas down under, and a very, very exciting 2025!! 🎉

[@lockingthroughlife2587]

I have to echo Gill’s comment here. This vlog was amazing. Fantastic drone footage by Pete, the sad to see ships graveyard and Poppy and a Hamish both going for the ball. What’s not to love!! Peres comment was funny too ‘yeah I can see trees, and fields and pylons’ 😂. Have a fantastic Christmas. Wish I was with you all. Love from me and mum xx

[@onedaymoreaboard]

High praise indeed! I still don't like listening to my voice on the voiceovers! This has to be some of the nest drone footage Pete has got so far I think, I you will know long I was looking for just the right music. Hamish almost decided to play with that ball too, almost! A very merry Christmas to you and your mum, and see you in the New Year 🎉

[@dorothydotson7154]

This is a lovely video. The ships are very interesting and the drone footage was great. (You've probably heard we're having a drone panic over here.) The golden hour is the best time of the day. I hope the remains of the boats have helped keep the canal and river separated. Have a wonderful Christmas! ❤

[@onedaymoreaboard]

So happy you enjoyed it Dorothy. I was excited to put Theo’s one out as I lived editing it, especially finding the perfect music for the drone footage, and the golden hour photos. I’ve been reading about the drone panic over there! Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2025, and thank you for your wonderful comments every single time 😊

[@dorothydotson7154]

@@onedaymoreaboard The drone stuff is so silly. People are calling stars and aircraft "drones" and of course when people started talking about it every person with a drone decided to participate. Merry Christmas. ❤

[@onedaymoreaboard]

It is crazy I agree! It all just gets blown up out of all proportion and scaremongering is rife isn't it! 🙁

[@mellissadalby1402]

Hi Poopy! Good girl! Hi Hamish! Good boy! It seems you folks must have a wonderful time on occassion. I love that rubbish cart. I bet those wide wheels work well even on soft ground, and it folds up nice and compactly. Very smart.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

I’ve passed on your good wishes to Poppy and Hamish! That folding cart was definitely a good buy. We bought it in Texas and shipped it back with our few belongings. The wide wheels certainly cope with the rugged and muddy towpaths! 😊

[@JP-mu5ic]

Thank you for the lovely and informative production. For your info it looks stunning on a 65” tv! Isn’t it difficult deciding whether the black/white image has more impact than the colour, so showing both as you do is the perfect solution. Very enjoyable- well done!

[@onedaymoreaboard]

That’s so good to hear! We used to binge watch narrowboat vlogs on our much bigger TV from our sofa in Texas when we were in the research phase of our move back to the UK. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@glennlingard7851]

Very nice, looks like Pete is using his dji mini 3 pro drone, absolutely stunning photography and soundtrack so well done to you two👍

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks so much! Pete’s become far more confident with the drone now, and I love finding the perfect music to show it off. Seeing the sunken ships from above was just perfect 😊

[@marilynbalderstone696]

Particularly interesting to me as I lived in Gloucester for many years and saw the sunken ships gradually deteriorate. I have passed the wrecks of the two barges from the train going to Cardiff but I have never seen them from the air so that was a real treat. I had no idea how much was left of the superstructure on them. What a tragic terrifying incident it was and how useful that railway bridge crossing the Severn would be now. I think they had refurbished it shortly before the accident. Many thanks.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

You're so welcome, it's good to hear from a local who's been there too Marilyn! Such a fascinating place, with so many stories to tell. Glad we were able to show you the view from above after all this time.

[@deborahharding135]

What a fascinating & moving place. Also the scenery is fabulous, & I'm sure there's lots of wildlife there.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

It really is Deborah! We are so glad we decided to explore a little more while we were in the area. You’re right about the wildlife, especially the water fowl. We wish we had had time to visit the Slimbridge Wetland and Wildfowl Trust while we were there. Next time! 😊

I won’t promise that life is all rainbows and unicorns on board our boat, but we do get along very well, and living together in such a small space is a true test of your relationship for sure.

I literally cried on your wonderful photography and Petes with the drone…I have seen those boats before but you have gotten so good especially this last month like I said I’m following along. (This week I just got to watch )I thought I got the book but they sent me the map. It’s not as easy so now I’m gonna have to look for the Nicholson guide book… you have turned into quite the documentary and that’s what I love the videos you have been making lately… Absolutely superb and breathtaking between you and Pete with your commentary you got it down I do believe this canal and your trip on it with my most favorite since I’ve been watching you and I’ve seen all your videos… thank you Merry CHRISTmas Samn in Oregon

I'm guessing this is the first of our videos that you have watched? Music is a big part of our channel, and judging by our many, many positive comments, it's what our viewers enjoy.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Yes a very sad story that resulted in the demolition of the bridge, as it was not economically viable to repair. All rail traffic then went through the existing tunnel and the 2 Severn bridges that we see today opened in 1966 and 1996. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed it 😊

Now nearly crossed Rochdale off the list. 134 locks in just under 6 months. Hopefully getting power next month so I can do river hull, Humber, picklington, York, and all surrounding befor I do leeds Liverpool and start coming south

[@miri1234ish]

Hi there. First time for me to watch your video. The main thing took my attention was the squeaking noise from your shaft that was above everything. Please take care of that before it will turn to a stop voyage. Other than that-beutiful video.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Welcome aboard, glad you enjoyed the video! The noise you can hear is our ‘singing’ propellor. We had to have our prop replaced last year after we hit something very hard under the water. The new prop is too perfect and that’s what causes the noise you can hear when we are cruising at tick over speed. To rectify it we need to have the boat taken out of the water so that the edge of the prop blade can be filed down a little so they are less perfect. Friends of ours have just had this done to their new prop and it cured the noise. We are going to just pay the money and get it done as you can tell it’s quite annoying! We’ve just been putting it off because of the cost! 😊

[@bernadettec6386]

Sorry to ask on here, but are you ok? After seeing yesterdays terrible news about the canal breach.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

Thanks for thinking of us Bernadette. We are not on the Bridgewater Canal thankfully and feel so sad for those boaters now stuck due the terrible disaster. Let’s hope they find some sort of temporary solution soon so they can move off that canal 😢

Hamish is reaching the lifespan of that breed of dog. Without wishing to upset you, I am curious whether you will get another of the same type when he finally goes to sleep, to keep Poppy company? I don't know how dogs react to a family member not being there anymore when they grew up with them. Feel free to delete this message if it is offensive, I don't mean to be, its just something I've always wanted to ask a dog owner.

Not offensive at all and happy to answer. You’re right, the life expectancy of westies is 13-15 years, so we are thankful for every day we have with Hamish now he is slowing down and showing his age. Our first westie was Jasper, who you see on the montage at the end of all of our videos. We had to say a sad goodbye to him in November 2022 when he had very aggressive mouth cancer, but he was 15 so had lived a long and good life full of adventure. Our youngest Poppy has really kept Hamish company and keeps him young for sure. We can’t imagine how he would have been when we lost Jasper if Poppy wasn’t around. We have already said that we think Poppy will be happy being an only dog one day when Hamish goes. We have so many boat friends with dogs that she’s never short of playmates now. Thanks for watching 😊

Do you recycle?

[@onedaymoreaboard]

We do our best to recycle. The rubbish collection points along the way sometimes have designated recycling bins, but often do not, but it gets sorted at the waste collection facility (apparently). Thanks for watching 😊

Well not good for the Narrowboats on the Bridgewater canal . i would say the will need all the help they can get . As this has happened on the 1.1. 2025.

[@onedaymoreaboard]

It’s terrible isn’t it. We know people stuck up there now. Josh’s amazing drone footage of the breach was featured on the BBC News. We hope they find some sort of temporary fix soon for all affected 😢
